Food Science: Eggs DVD

It’s in the cereal you have for breakfast, in the pizza you have for lunch, in the soda you have for dinner. “It” is science, of course. Everything you eat is the result of a chemical process, either man-made or initiated by good old Mother Nature. In Food Science, you’ll see where it’s made, how it’s made and what it does when it gets into your body. Award-winning chemist Dr. Joe Schwarcz guides viewers through the history, the culture and the science of the fuel of life. Viewers will gain a new respect for what is on the plate and will allow them to make smarter decisions in their daily diet.

Food Science: EGGS
That egg in your fridge is a miracle of technology, biology and genealogy. It starts with a line of purebred chickens and goes through four generations of hens before the perfect egg is produced. Then it has to be graded and transported and sometimes broken. This episode looks at the science behind egg production, analysis and even preparation.
